To the Editor:
   It is interesting that melamine is toxic, and interesting that we use melamine to fertilize our fields. To leap from these data to a "melamine problem" however suggests that the author has grown alienated from the earth that feeds him. If we were to spread nothing on our fields that is not itself fit for human consumption, what are we to do with manure?
